Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (400 movies items)"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: Bordering on 10 stars; accentuates the lighting terrifically, looks almost clear when not changing over and renders shots like Carey Mulligan walking down a supermarket aisle looking like a trip. Setbacks include the audio glitching every four seconds during the last two minutes of the first reel, and one set of frames in the first two reels jittering.

A contender for my favourite of the year so far?
“Yes, very likely. Of a very hit-and-miss year so far, I have seen some gems like Tree of Life, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy(the first two in a way are not for everybody though), Rio and Source Code. And then I saw Drive, which was simply brilliant.Like I said with some of my favourites this year, Drive is not a movie for all. It is a slow-paced movie, but I did not find it "boring"(a term I hate with a passion, as it is massively overused and hardly ever elaborated upon). For me, just because it is slow-paced, doesn't necessarily mean it is going to be a bad movie, only when other components don't work does it apply to me, which is not the case with Drive.Besides, Drive isn't even the only slow-paced movie around, so I don't know why people have to make such a big deal of it.

“Warning: Spoilers
I should point out at the onset that this really isn't the sort of film I like--so keep this in mind. I decided to watch "Drive" because it received a lot of critical attention but was ignored at the Oscars. And, since I'd heard so much good stuff about it, I decided to rent it.
"Drive" is a SUPER-violent film. While the number of deaths isn't as extreme as some films, the deaths that do occur are among the bloodiest and closeup you will ever see in a movie. You see a person get their head blown apart at close range with a shotgun, you see a man stomped to death (complete with lots of squishy sound effects) and a guy stabbed in the eye and then in the throat! Do NOT let kids see this film and think twice about seeing it yourself. It is brutal...very, v” read more

1001 Movies ... my own version (2010's) (100 movies items)" Notes: To be honest, I thought this movie was indeed pretty good but, nothing really amazing, I’m afraid. Sure, I have to admit that it did look really terrific and it is even more impressive when you think that Nicolas Winding Refn had no knowledge of Los Angeles before shooting this flick.

Anti-Hero Films (55 movies items)" Driver: If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive."
